5. “The [Kamala] cartoon suggests the government should somehow make sure we all end up at the same level of achievement, wealth, or post-tax, post-transfer income.
What makes this more than just a story about a clumsy social media effort is that the cartoon video matches the rhetoric and substance of the Biden campaign — all the Park Avenue-bashing, the Biden plan to double the capital gains tax, the closing stretch television ad about “my economic plan that will finally reward work not wealth in this country.”
The message is coming not just from Senator Harris but from the Democratic candidate at the top of the ticket. Campaigning Sunday night in Philadelphia, Mr. Biden said, “Wall Street did not build this country, you did, the working people of America built this country.... Under my plan, and this is the God’s truth, if you make less than 400,000 bucks a year, you’re not going to pay a penny more in taxes, not one penny, I promise you. But the wealthiest, and the biggest corporations...they’re going to start to pay their fair share.”
“Fair” is Biden-speak for what Harris calls “equity.” The people defining what’s “fair” in deciding who gets to keep what won’t be the people who earned the money or who have it now, but rather Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, and their fellow politicians.” Op.Cit.
